San Giovanni Lipioni is a small village and ''comune'' located at the southernmost tip of Province of Chieti in the Abruzzo region of Italy, on a hill overlooking the river Trigno valley. ==History== The first settlement in the village presumably dates back to the pre-Roman times, when the area was under the control of the Samnites population. As an evidence of this is a ''III century B.C. bronze man's head'' discovered in the village countryside in 1847 and currently stored at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Starting from the 14th century, the village was under the influence of the Kingdom of Naples through the Aragon and the D'Avalos families, of Spanish origin, which held possessions in the nearby coastal town of Vasto. The name ''Lipioni'' is thought indeed to be derived from the Spanish ''los peones'' (unskilled labourers), referring to the predominant peasantry condition and sheep-rearing activity of the village's inhabitants.〔Picciani, Luciano (1995). ''San Giovanni Lipioni - Sulle Orme dei Padri'' . Tinari, Bucchianico (CH), page 65〕 Subsequently, until 1861 the village was under control of the Caracciolo families, always within the Kingdom of Naples territory. Among the most important families of the village is nowadays the Rossi family, lawyers and medical doctors, owners of an important and ancient historical house. The building is now the focus of a judicial process between the heirs of the family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Giovanni Lipioni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
